Class BridgeChronology<S,T extends ChronoEntity<T>>

java.lang.Object

net.time4j.engine.Chronology<S>

net.time4j.engine.BridgeChronology<S,T>

Type Parameters:

S - generic type of foreign temporal type

T - generic type compatible to ChronoEntity

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChronoMerger<S>

public final class BridgeChronology<S,T extends ChronoEntity<T>>
extends Chronology<S>

Represents a foreign chronology which delegates formatting and parsing to a chronology in Time4J.

A ChronoFormatter can be created by help of this chronology such that the formatter can be adjusted to any foreign type without external conversion.

Important to know: This chronology does not register any elements and is also not registered itself so Chronology.lookup(...) will inevitably fail to find this chronology.

Constructor Detail

BridgeChronology

public BridgeChronology(Converter<S,T> converter,
                        Chronology<T> delegate)

Constructs a new instance.

Parameters:

converter - used in any type conversion, should be stateless

delegate - delegate chronology in Time4J

Method Detail

createFrom

public S createFrom(TimeSource<?> clock,
                    AttributeQuery attributes)

Description copied from interface: ChronoMerger

Creates a new entity which reflects current time.

In a date-only chronology this method will create the current date using the necessary timezone contained in given attributes.

Specified by:

createFrom in interface ChronoMerger<S>

Overrides:

createFrom in class Chronology<S>

Parameters:

clock - source for current time

attributes - configuration attributes which might contain the timezone to translate current time to local time

Returns:

new time context or null if given data are insufficient

createFrom

public S createFrom(TemporalAccessor threeten,
                    AttributeQuery attributes)

Description copied from interface: ChronoMerger

Creates a new entity of type T based on given chronological data.

The default implementation always returns null so subclasses with better knowledge about their own state and needs should override it.

Specified by:

createFrom in interface ChronoMerger<S>

Overrides:

createFrom in class Chronology<S>

Parameters:

threeten - object of type TemporalAccessor

attributes - configuration attributes given by parser

Returns:

new time context or null if given data are insufficient

createFrom

@Deprecated
public S createFrom(ChronoEntity<?> entity,
                                 AttributeQuery attributes,
                                 boolean preparsing)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ChronoMerger

Creates a new entity of type T based on given chronological data.

Typically the method will query the given entity with different priorities for elements which can compose a new chronological entity (per group). For example a calendar date can be composed either by epoch days or the group (year)-(month)-(day-of-month) or the group (year)-(day-of-year) etc.

A text parser will call this method after having resolved a text into single chronological elements and values. Implementations should always validate the parsed values. In case of error, they are free to either throw an IllegalArgumentException or to generate and to save an error message by mean of the expression entity.with(ValidationElement.ERROR_MESSAGE, message.

Specified by:

createFrom in interface ChronoMerger<S>

Overrides:

createFrom in class Chronology<S>

Parameters:

entity - any chronological entity like parsed elements with their values

attributes - configuration attributes given by parser

preparsing - preparsing phase active?

Returns:

new time context or null if given data are insufficient

ValidationElement.ERROR_MESSAGE

Overrides:

createFrom in class Chronology<S>

Parameters:

entity - any chronological entity like parsed elements with their values

attributes - configuration attributes given by parser

lenient - controls the leniency how to interprete invalid values
